They can use the same "Search Results" window for their output. That window will know what to do (show related place in source code) when an entry is clicked. > Anyway, for that lets wait for docking. Some notes on docking: The "Messages" and "Search Results" can be docked to the IDE main window, eventually by default. The docking of forms is unsupported on many platforms, due to the different management of controls (widgetset) and windows (window manager). So all dockable windows should contain one single component for their entire content. (or the forms should float as clients of a floating form). This requirement lead me to another suggestion: When one or more forms are docked into another window, their UI (menus, toolbars...) could be added to the dock host form's UI. Just an idea... > what about: > - keybard layouts? > - Menu layouts? Some visual design for toolbars (and menus) would be nice, as in the Delphi IDE window (configure by drag&drop from the list of available options to a toolbar).
